2025 Diversity Calendar



This 2025 Diversity and Inclusion Calendar is a resource designed to reflect the key dates and observances that align with my commitment to fostering safe, inclusive spaces and advocating for gender diversity, intersectional human rights, and psychological safety. Each observance included here highlights significant moments for awareness, visibility, and action in areas of gender identity, LGBTQ+ rights, and the broader fight for equality and respect across communities. This calendar serves as a tool to support understanding, inclusion, and celebration of diversity in all its forms, reinforcing our shared commitment to dignity and belonging for all.
